20ft New High Cube Open Side Container

The 20ft high cube open side container is a new shipping container featuring a full-length side door for enhanced access to stored cargo and materials. This unit provides increased interior height compared to standard containers, making it suitable for palletized goods, oversized items, and operations requiring frequent loading and unloading from the side .

Key Features

• Full-length open side door providing unobstructed access along the container length

• High cube configuration offering approximately 8 ft 10 in of interior height

• Corten steel construction for structural integrity and corrosion resistance

• Marine-grade plywood flooring (28mm) over steel cross-members 

• End cargo doors providing dual access points

• Forklift pockets for ease of handling and repositioning

• Corner castings for lifting and stacking compatibility

• ISO and CSC certification for international transport compliance 

Detailed Description

The 20ft high cube open side container is constructed from Corten steel, a weathering steel formulation that develops a protective oxide layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. As a new unit, this container has not been used for prior cargo transport and is in factory condition with minimal wear .

The open side configuration features bifold doors that span the container length, allowing access to stored materials without requiring entry through the rear cargo doors . The side doors fold back fully, enabling forklifts and pallet jacks to access the container interior from multiple positions .

The high cube configuration provides additional interior height compared to standard containers, accommodating taller items, stacked pallets, and equipment requiring additional clearance . The floor system utilizes marine-grade plywood panels secured to steel cross-members, providing load-bearing capacity suitable for palletized goods, machinery, and equipment .

End cargo doors with steel locking bars provide a second access point and support secure cargo transport. Ventilation openings promote air circulation and reduce moisture accumulation.
